As for me, I usually get a Starbucks protein shake after a morning workout (run or swim) on my way to work. It is pretty good tasting, so I'm assuming it isn't too good for me... I do get it with skim milk, but get an add shot.
After a few months of being a regular at my gym, some other regulars started talking to me, and some mentioned nutrition. I'll never forget a guy telling me that he had 8+ eggs for breakfast every day.
I could see how the view from a swimmers perspective would be different from say a bodybuilder...totally different goals when dealing with their nutrition.
I'm not familiar with the Starbucks shake, but I'm sure the nutritional values are available.
My daily breakfast consists of 4 egg whites and 3 whole eggs and 1/2 cup of oatmeal with fruit.^
